ASUS P2-BX Slot 1 Pentium III Motherboard ATX BX Chipset AGP 4 PCI 3 ISA
ASUS P2-BX Slot 1 Pentium III Motherboard ATX BX Chipset AGP 4 PCI 3 ISA
The ASUS P2-BX is an ATX form factor motherboard built around the Intel 440BX chipset, designed to accept Slot 1 Pentium II and Pentium III processors. It features one AGP slot for a dedicated graphics card, four PCI expansion slots, three ISA slots for legacy cards, and four SDRAM DIMM sockets. Onboard I/O includes dual PS/2 ports, two USB ports, one parallel port, and two serial ports. An Award BIOS chip is fitted, and the board carries the Intel 440BX northbridge and southbridge chipset pair as confirmed by the IC markings visible in the photos.

Applications
The ASUS P2-BX was produced in the late 1990s during the era when Intel's Slot 1 packaging replaced Socket 7, introducing the Pentium II and early Pentium III processors as the platform for mainstream desktop and workstation builds. The Intel 440BX chipset was widely regarded as one of the most stable and capable chipsets of its generation, supporting 100 MHz front-side bus speeds and making it a popular choice for both consumer desktops and entry-level workstations of the period. Three ISA slots made boards like this a practical transitional platform, allowing users to carry over legacy sound cards, internal modems, and I/O cards during the industry's gradual move toward all-PCI systems. Today these boards are sought after for retro PC building, legacy industrial or scientific workstation support where period-correct hardware is required, and period software testing and emulation environments that require authentic 1990s-era x86 hardware.
Condition: Used
This ASUS P2-BX Slot 1 Pentium III ATX motherboard has been tested and is in working order. The board is in good used condition consistent with normal handling and storage for a late-1990s component — the PCB and traces are clean, all slots and rear I/O ports appear intact, and no broken or missing components are visible.
